Connect What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part of being a mom is watching your children grow up to be their own person. Having the foundation of what you’ve taught them but a personality that represents who they are and every thing they love will make you look in awe like “Wow, I really created greatness.”

What is one memory of your kids that you will never forget?

When my youngest was 10 months I was in the kitchen making a snack and he was in the room connected to the kitchen playing. I went to give him his snack and didn’t see him anywhere. I instantly panicked and searched the apartment top to bottom calling out his name. I went back to the room calling his name and heard a snicker then a tiny foot fall out of the bottom square of the bookcase. He popped out saying “peekaboo” and I could have cried. To this day my wild child keeps me on my toes!

What would you do with $20,000?

I would invest some of the money into their 529 accounts and then use the rest as a down payment to purchase my very first home for us.
